I'm new

So, I saw an article somewhere that mentioned myfitnesspal was the best iPhone app out there for helping people lose weight. And here I am. Anyways, I very much like what I see here so far. I'm hoping to link up with a few new friends to help me stay motivated. So if anyone sees this and would like to link up, send me an invite!

I need to lose about 50 lb (I'm hoping to go from 230 to 180). I'm 37, just got my degree in Computer Information Systems, and have 2 kids that are my inspiration. Thank you!
